Sarphatipark (Amsterdam)

Netherlands / Noord-Holland / Amsterdam
The Sarphatipark is a public urban park, located in the stadsdeel Amsterdam Oud-Zuid in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The park is named after Samuel Sarphati.
In 1942, Nazi activity resulted in the park being renamed "Bollandpark" after G.J.P.J. Bolland, because Samuel Sarphati was Jewish. The old name was restored after the war ended in 1945.
